I bought an Asus Prime A320M-K Mobo (I can't overclock the CPU). Please reply fast and include any evidence if you can. Thanks ahead.

Read your product specifications... the bold items are the built-in OC configurations, while the other JEDEC settings appear on the SPFD... if this was Intel, they'd refer to it as XMP. You can push beyond these limits a bit, but don't anticipate reaching 2133 to 3200+. You can check the SPD settings on the SPD tab using CPU_z.

Regarding RAM speed and its impact on gaming, tell me what you aim to demonstrate and I can verify it easily by selecting games that clearly illustrate the case.

With DDR3, Metro 2033 didn't show any improvement from 1600 to 2400.

With DDR3, F1 demonstrated an 11% enhancement from 1600 to 2400.

As for the card...

You might be able to boost your GPU's speed, but not the RAM, I believe. Overclocking the GPU probably won't significantly increase your FPS either.

Review your product specifications... the highlighted ones are the built-in OC options, while the other JEDEC configurations appear on the SPFD... if it were Intel, they'd refer to it as XMP. You can push beyond these limits a bit, but don't anticipate reaching 2133 to 3200+. Check the SPD settings on the SPD tab using CPU_z.

Regarding RAM speed and its impact on gaming, let's clarify what you aim to demonstrate and I'll verify it by selecting suitable games.

For DDR3, Metro 2033 didn't show any improvement when increasing from 1600 to 2400
With DDR3, F1 demonstrated an 11% enhancement in that range

As for the graphics card:

Try the afterburner and experiment with these configurations, adjusting as necessary:

Before starting an overclock, it's important to compile a detailed list of your system's specifications in sequence. This helps us understand more about your setup. Overclocking also generates additional heat, so checking your airflow is also necessary.

Provide the following details:
